B-17E "Strip-Straffer" 41-9207 right side nickname and nose art
On the right side of the nose was ""Strip-Straffer" in block letters with the nose art of a boy pulling off his shorts during a strip tease wearing an American Airlines pilot's hat turned to the side. Presumably, the nicknames and nose art were painted by a crew member with an association with American Airlines prewar.
